This is my 4th car my newest one this year, my 3rd lease. I am very happy with the dealership as the sales people have been there many years, several 10 plus and when I go in there they know me and help me. Its a relaible car, I have never had any trouble with mine. I love the dent resistant doors it keeps the car looking great when those who have no value in morals, hit you and just leave.
1st new car

Bought it for my wife to drive. Wanted to get a new car with low monthly payments. I'm 6'0" and I consider the car too small for me and the kids. I can't put the seat as far back as I'd like. She is getting about 20 mpg with a 4 mile drive to work. Electric power steering seems a bit annoying at 30mph range, feels like car is out of alignment, but fine at 50+ mph. We purchased the Rain Forest Green. The Electric Blue is a nice color but there was a difference in tone on the different body part, spoiler, nose, engine hood, doors it didn't quite match up.
I LOVE MY 1st CAR

This car is wonderful! My dad bought it for me. It was a great price and a wonderful car. I have a black ion 2 4 cyl turbo. It is awsome. At first i wasn't sure about the speedometer in the middle but i love it there. It is so easy to look at. Even though my car cost 1/2 of what a BMW costs it looks just like one. The only problem I have found with my car is that the fabric stains very easily, so I keep carpet cleaner hand and it removes the spots. Great car, Great investment, Wonderful!!!!!!!
LEMON not by their call

After i had my car for two weeks the vehicle would turn off by itself while i was driving. This had happned *six* times including once on the highway. The car was sent back to the dealership twice, where it was there for three weeks. They put EIGHT HUNDRED miles on my new car and sent the vehicle back with trash and filth. I missed the lemon law by the skin of my teeth. I was accused of lying about my vehicle and treated like dirt. So much for buying a new car and then feeling like you have a death trap! Not only that but the car has also been recalled and has also had to go back for a fuse issue.
A true lemon! Starting difficulties!

This is the car that killed Saturn. Mine was plagued with electrical problems: "Passlock" malfunctions made the car unstartable at times. (2 column passlock switch assemblies replaced and the problem came back a 3rd time. A $300+ dealer repair if out-of- warranty.) The sensor in the anti- freeze overflow failed. Left headlight problem due to wiring harness wear. Recall for turn signal mal-function. Noisy McPherson struts in winter. A harsh ride, especially in winter. Cheap- looking seats and interior trim. Only pluses: good gas mileage and no rust due to plastic body parts. A mediocre end to the Saturn legacy. Basically a small Chevy with plastic side panels. Too bad.
